RE: THE NEW 'ACTION FIGURES' FROM SAN DIEGO COMIC CON!
Several people made comments about the 6th Doctor Who 'action figure' I'd mentioned in my prior post, and were wondering why the clothes (and shoes!) were so ... ummm ... 'blue.'
At the Who North America site, it says, "This alternative costume was most visibly used in the BBC webcast 'Real Time' (having previously appeared on a few book and audio book covers). It varies vastly from the gaudy coat of many colors normally worn by Colin Baker's sixth Doctor whilst retaining some design elements including the dandy's tie and question mark shirt collar. For many fans this has become almost the preferred costume with it's more muted, less frivolous, colorways."
Now, I happen to love the color blue, but after all; the Sixth Doctor NEEDS his clown clothes (and the umbrella!)
